The most important class, however, for me and for hundreds of other Hungarian musicians, was the chamber-music class. From about the age of fourteen, and until graduation from the Academy, all instrumentalists except the heavy-brass players and percussionists had to participate in this course. Presiding over it for many years was the composer Leó Weiner, who thus exercised an enormous influence on three generations of Hungarian musicians.

This year’s leading figure in the traditional MVM Christmas Concert is violinist Kristóf Baráti, who contributes to the seasonal festivities with Bach’s D minor partita. In the concert that has attracted huge interest, he will be expertly partnered by Andrea Vigh on harp and János Balázs on piano, ensuring the perfect tuning for the Christmas celebrations. The performance (without intermission) is a fitting closure to the 2019 MVM Concerts series, which once again brought a long list of top artists to the Grand Hall of the Liszt Academy throughout the year.
